(or it may be that language confuses you, it's a tossup)
From the comments at Zuska's:
If the power wielded is via the fear of sexual assault, then it is useless without the assumption that every man is a potential rapist.
Now look what happens when we apply logic to this sentence:
"If the power wielded is via the fear of sexual assault, then it is useless without the assumption that potential victims are unable to read minds."
The logical - and statistically supported - assumption that one can't tell which men are rapists just by spending time with them (much less just by simply looking at them) = / = assuming every man is capable of rape.
The only thing more annoying than women being cast as perpetually illogical is women's very logical decisions being used as "proof" of this.
